Sibling Rivalry: The One About AAVE

[@QummQuat]

I've been silent for too long... but whoever does the audio for the episodes needs to know that the intro music audio level constantly sounds like an explosion after a quiet ad-read and the actual episode starting. 😭

[@Prince_the_One]

But have you heard about Rakuten?

[@celynneianne]

speak your truth bb

[@ungodlyy]

To you mama, spilling for kudos

[@ianjohnson1249]

Yeah Id personally like it more quiet but thats just me

[@paigechromy2902]

Way way way too loud

"Do I sound gay💅🏻💅🏻 I don't know 😱" - Monet

[@ClassicLugol]

Bob’s outfit is giving bikini bottom

[@adriana410]

Monet sings more. There are multiple episodes where Monet starts the pod signing. And there are other times where Bob is referencing a song by singing it and Monet immediately turns it into a duet where she takes the VERY high part🤣

[@jayna273]

The accuracy muah

[@GumOnTheWall]

I must say that Bob is dressed like Patrick Star

[@grayk3803]

Bob’s voice is as neutral as it can get. He uses his voice more dynamically than most straight men but he lacks all the hallmarks of what makes a voice “sound gay.” It’s a 5 for me

[@starling86]

It would be interesting to know which hallmarks you are referring to. But "the gay" in our voices (and gestures) depends entirely on what he is talking about and who he is talking to, as well as any sociopragmatic goals he may have....this is true for all of us.

[@whattypeofx7750]

Finally! The all exclusive Q episode! She deserves her flowers for shure

[@THEinstapotth0t]

"Guacamole? ON MY SANDWICH?" that reaction was giving "In front of my salad?"

[@kimlipslips1982]

As a gay who majored in Linguistics (just plugging this in for no reason), in terms of the VERY scientific metric for general tone, pitch, and inflection, I'd say Bob overall is a 7/10 on the 💅scale, whereas Monét overall is a 8.25 on the 💅scale. Bob's general pitch is standard for someone AMAB; Monét's pitch is very deep, way deeper than most people who were AMAB, prompting the iconic "Are y'all boys or a girl? I have a question because y'all sound like you are both men?" from the boy on Stereo. In terms of general tone and delivery, Bob is a little more calculated and deadpan, like when saying (instigating), "So you think _____ is a piece of shit." Monét tends to have a more excited way of expressing her words. During the root beer discussion, Bob is speaking pretty steadily, but when Monét responds and then returns to the main topic, the way she says " Ew... ginger beer is too spicy~" following with "Okay! So my point was saying YES I know about Ebonics, but.." Her tone is brighter, maybe because she's concertedly trying to stay on topic, but I find this in her speech patterns even though her voice is much deeper. Now in terms of inflection, Bob goes from 0 to 100 and back to 0 in mere syllables, but Monét's is more erratic. When they argued about giving each other compliments and Bob discusses touring with Mo Heart, Monét is like, "No you dOoOn't! That's not true! Give me the ocular proof." Bob responds with, "Bring it down an octave" which is lusciously followed by Bob's Mo Heart impersonation IMMEDIATELY after, "IT'S PUSSY, HUNNY. OH, IT'S PUSS, YEEESSSS". Obviously the way either of them speaks depends on the pragmatics and subject matter, mood, etc., but I genuinely think Bob is the less clockable one of the two, and that's coming from someone who is a 10/10. Lmaoo

[@bonelegged]

love this

[@m00nrac00n]

"Doing all your little Ebonics" Moooonet. Oop- 💀.

[@TophGames]

Legally Blonde was on MTV because they had a short competition show to find their “Elle” for the musical. It was so camp.

[@michaelatussey]

Yes this! Came to the comments to mention it. Both of them were pivotal moments in my young teenage life. I wish they’d revive Legally Blonde on Broadway. Truly did not expect a Laura Bell Bundy mention on the pod lol

[@Fruitdrink2000]

*Monet looked soooo sneaky before taking that sneaky bite* 👀 Bob 👁️👁️

[@mashdzva]

Bobs voice is pretty straight. Like a straight guy who likes theater. Sometimes it’s a little gayer especially when he goes into head voice

[@carlmacksoud1718]

Maybe it isn’t a hot take but, would anyone else agree that the power we instill into these celebrities is kinda dangerous? Like, yeah, we can have favorites and maybe it is just the fact that millions of people like these artists for what they create. However com-ma’am, the fact that they can move a culture for good or for bad just by changing aesthetic or genre of performance is crazy. I love Bey, I ride or die for her but that is what I’m saying. I’m aware of my obsession but, the fact that she, one singular person, had the ability to open me to country is crazy! And now, I’m curious to see how fashionable I can get because “western” is an area I’ve never played in before but, admittedly it has its good things about it.

[@carlmacksoud1718]

I love you two! I’m just adding to the conversation about Beyonce and Taylor on media.

[@Prince_the_One]

I was listening to country since middle school. I'm confused how people are discovering country through Beyonce. Beyonces country album is the most stripped down and plain country music I've ever heard in my life. There are plenty of exciting and soulful country artists out there and always have been lol.

[@BlueIvysBlackberry]

They didn’t say they just discovered country lol. They said Beyoncé made them open to listening to it which is their point. The country artists you enjoy didn’t move them to listen, but because Beyoncé is their fave, they listened to Beyoncé’s country album.

[@tenderizer]

“tHe NiGhT iS sTiLl YoUnG” baby that is noon, fully lunchtime. Nicki’s face when she snatches the mic back kills me every time I love it hahaha

[@nic00le53]

I saw Monet sing last summer at the Edinburgh Fringe and she was phenomenal ❤️

[@oceandelver]

i actually forget monet is a opera trained singer and not just a regular singer. as a bobblehead we talk about theater more on this pod😌

[@taylorwinston1546]

Yung Miami: “Boy this 🐱 talk 28:22”

[@naiomisilva6254]

I honestly think its pretty much a tie between them both and i think ive watched all of their podcasts haha love you both !!!!!!!

[@Tbhyeah]

1:09:20 LMAO I was trying hard to think of what the Trixie and Katya fandom refers to ourselves as and the only thing I could think of was the F slur

[@aneudiaguilar7345]

Bob’s outfit is giving Patrick Star

[@ensabahnur3104]

Im so ticked that Bob is visibly upset that Monet said he doesn't sound Gay...we've come full circle😊😊

[@TheRedcat14]

10:23 not two in a row where Bob’s right 😂 Monet absolutely sings more, I’d even go as far as to say I consider Monet “the nerdy musical one” out of the two of you

[@jun-ws9lw]

i watched a video on greek houses and how they act as a vehicle of oppression that perpetuates racism and patriarchy it was kinda crazy

[@oceandelver]

yall glowing this vid omg

[@carlmacksoud1718]

Hmm, I feel like Bob sings more only as of recently! I can recall a hand full of times where they sing Madonna songs in beginning of the video of when they are referencing her.

[@lisajopegg1685]

I absolutely saw the MTV production of Legally Blonde The Musical! That's when I fell in love with it. And yes, I was a theatre person.

[@Jay-to8me]

Opera person here. If I am not singing opera, I am either listening to opera or talking about opera. Or making memes about opera. Or joking about opera. Or dreaming/thinking/fantasizing about opera.

[@joseuribe9273]

Q left the chat……

[@rf1206]

Bob sounds pretty straight to me but i am a proud Monétion 🍏😅

[@kennsstter]

32:21 bob is def a 4.5. He’s not saying slay momma.

[@cleangamer220]

1:13:09 this nicki bit yall are doing is so funny 😭😭

[@erabrielle]

As I’m watching this , I pause to get on TikTok and Monet has on another brown tank w a Fredrick Douglas x Cynthia inspired wig & I wish ppl could see it 😂😂😂

[@heatherfrank7433]

1:02:00 I’m a huge Megan fan, also white. I blank myself out like your example. I don’t say the word even when singing by myself so there’s no restraint needed. If there’s a line where the word is there multiple times, I just skip the line. (I saw her live a few months ago and she’s amazing 😭😭😭)

[@KelseyGatlinDavies]

Great episode 😊

[@teetee74122]

Finally someone shows appreciation for Munchos

[@msyokoming6970]

12:13 same I usually wait until the hype dies down before I go listen

[@4k.vip3rz]

the part where bob is gagging cos monet went off camera to take a bite of a "rice krispies treat" is sending me😭

[@zuitsuit80]

I met Roxxie Andrews at DC Pride once. She did her show and then she went into the crowd and personally said hello and took photos with literally everyone. She is a sweetheart. To add to Bob’s recognition of older costume queens m, I would also add Phi Phi O’Hara to the list. Great cosplay artist.

[@OccamsSledgehammer]

🎉Fairly new viewer: Monet sings and talks about opera more than Bob talks about theater

[@meriseacartel]

Why start like that QUEEN. Bob I’m racking up questions so fake of monet. Miss my girls see you Friday ❤

[@dominic7194]

Monet sang that like it was the haunted mansion ride 💀

[@Susanimal82]

Bob’s Minnesota accent was hilarious. It would be so silly to hear these two read a monologue or sing a song, in all types of American dialects.

[@Toshiboyai]

I was laughing so hard near the end when Monet was saying the Bobbleheads were authoritarian government and Bob clapped back with “you don’t even believe in Democracy because you’re denying the vote.” I lost it

[@ThinkTwink97]

Screaming at Monet wanting to sing Legally Blonde but starting to sing Daughters of Triton. 🤣🤣

[@justinit5715]

I agree if Bob were reading a passage from a book he would be a 5 on the gay meter based solely on voice alone. I did love that Bob thought his voice perception was an attack on his actual gayness.

[@user-ke5rt3ji8c]

Q should watch this episode!

[@jasminepearltunes]

Pidgin English is like whatMonet was calling Paskwat? I think she called it. A created language when two groups of people need to communicate, eg in Papua New Guinea, like in the Caribbean countries I bet. Countries that have been colonised by English speakers. Or can be other language groups too. Thank you guys for doing a linguistics ep ❤️❤️❤️

[@mistywebs]

.."i guess you guys don't have the same passion for your art form as we do". got me cackkling😂😂😆😋 Bob you are gorge btw.😍🥰 (PS: that door bell sound about 9/10 min i thought was mine and awakened my 'millennial front door anxiety'™ 🤭😅)

[@Clemonade23BX]

I grew up in jersey city NJ and it wasn't until I had gone off to college and came back that I could hear the accent I used to talk with. My little sister sounded so wild lol. We're white, but if you had asked me if I talked with an aave accent I'd be like 'absolutely not'. But idk it's just the way the youth of the city talks.

[@genevievelapointe9102]

I think Bob does not sound gay. Money is right. Jayda E Hall sounds gay, to give an exemple. Bob would be a 3 and Money 6 on your scale.

[@helena4440]

Monets a 7 at least les be honest. Agree on Bob being a 3

[@jkroyzer]

11:24 she’s not mean Monet. You’re right the fans are in on it. Same way the queens drag each other playfully. Nicki does the same thing

[@fafi8014]

Coming from the UK munch acqates to eating anything in general. However, it definitely relates to cunilingus. I know it's been said atleast from my knowledge before the 1970s and I was born in 1983 and it was a general term for eating. Their is even a popular crisp called monster munch I.e eat ❤ Love you both😊

I appreciate the nuanced conversation. Maya Angelou told Oprah that if anyone regardless of race used the N word they would be asked to leave her home.

[@PhilipWisner]

I remember at a Durand Bernarr concert in Philly, he had someone come out on stage first and she said the n word will be said a lot during this show, this is not an invitation for the white people in the crowd to participate. Which makes me think there had be occurrences of white people singing the n word at this shows. I was one of 5 white people at the concert and it was one of the best shows I've been to. You just simply don't sing along to words you shouldn't say and enjoy the show. Same thing at the Nicki concert, I just rap the clean version 🤣
